Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the number one cause of death globally. According to WHO (World Health Organization), 80% of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. CVDs are associated to risk factors such as obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and others. The scientific community keeps searching for new parameters, like ECG signal analysis, to improve cardiovascular risk evaluation.
This article aims at providing a systematic review of developed mobile Electrocardiogram (ECG) systems and the relevance of ECG for the assessment of cardiovascular risk.
A systematic review of two databases (PubMed and IEEEXplore) was carried out.
This article provides an analysis of 10 studies describing mobile ECG systems developed in the last 10 years, and 6 studies analyzing the effectiveness of ECG as a parameter to assess cardiovascular risk.
The systematic review demonstrated that there are no mobile ECG systems used for cardiovascular risk assessment. Furthermore, the review indicates that there is scientific evidence about the effectiveness of ECG as a parameter for cardiovascular risk evaluation, but only in some specific cases.
心血管疾病(CVD)是全球头号死因。据世界卫生组织(WHO)称,这些死亡中有80%发生在低收入和中等收入国家。心血管疾病与肥胖、吸烟、久坐不动的生活方式等风险因素相关。科学界一直在寻找新的参数,如心电图信号分析,以改善心血管风险评估。
本文旨在对已开发的移动心电图(ECG)系统以及心电图在评估心血管风险方面的相关性进行系统综述。
对两个数据库(PubMed和IEEEXplore)进行了系统综述。
本文分析了10项描述过去10年开发的移动心电图系统的研究,以及6项分析心电图作为评估心血管风险参数有效性的研究。
系统综述表明,目前尚无用于心血管风险评估的移动心电图系统。此外,该综述表明,有科学证据证明心电图作为心血管风险评估参数的有效性,但仅在某些特定情况下。
